Whether you just want to do something good for your skin or heading to a wedding or a party, we will walk you through the steps of an effective home facial, including using face masks that will leave your skin glowing and refreshed just like a spa.
Step 1: Double cleanse thoroughly
The first step is to remove the makeup, grime, and dirt from the surface of the skin using a sulfate-free oil-based cleanser (for your skin type). Then use an exfoliating water-based cleanser to remove the leftover impurities. This will remove the residual impurities and boost blood circulation.
Step 2: Exfoliate
Use a mild face scrub (fruit or charcoal based) or a chemical exfoliant (lactic or glycolic acid) and massage gently on the face. This will open the pores, cleanse them, and get rid of dead skin cells. Avoid the area around the eyes, lips, and eyebrows as you work your way outward from the center.
Step 3: Steam for deep pore cleansing
Steaming the face for about five to ten minutes opens the pores for better product absorption, brings in hydration and increases blood flow to the skin.
Step 4: Extract
Gently extract the blackheads using a sterilized extraction tools. Don’t press or squeeze too hard.
Step 5: Apply a face mask
This is a crucial step in the facial routine. Face masks are simple to use but do wonders for the skin by providing nourishment.
Skincare products like the Kora turmeric mask are infused with skin-friendly ingredients like turmeric, green tea leaf powder, aspen bark, rosehip seeds that detoxify the skin, reduce inflammation, even up the skin tone, and boost skin renewal. It is also an exfoliating mask, so if you are in a hurry you can use this as an exfoliator too.
Apply the Kora turmeric mask on the damp skin and leave it for 10-15 minutes as you relax. Let the mask sit on your face until dry, then rinse it with lukewarm water or clean it with a wet towel. Enjoy a hot towel treatment for your face after removing the mask.
Step 6: Time to soothe the eyes
Use under eye-patches and creams to reduce the signs of stress and fatigue along with dark circles and puffiness. Don’t rub cream under the eye; just gently massage it in. You can use a rollerball applicator for massaging and better product application.
Step 7: Apply toner and serum
Now that your skin is clear and glowing, it’s time to nourish it more with toner and serum. Face serums contain active ingredients like vitamin C or niacinamide to target specific skin concerns.
Step 8: Moisturize
Lock it all in with a good moisturizer. Gently massage it in with smooth and outward strokes.
It only takes about an hour of your day with the right skin care products for an at-home facial. The nighttime is a great time to start, as the skin is more in a relaxed and repair mode. If you have to do it in the daytime, don’t forget to a good sunscreen.
Conclusion
Facials at home are a great way to maintain skin health. Using key products like the healing and glow-boosting kora turmeric mask, you can get radiant skin in just simple steps. So just take some time out, play your favourite music, and let the ritual of self-love and skin revival work its magic.
